🎠 Montmartre in an Afternoon

Paris · One afternoon · 4 stops · 45% local · ~1.8 km walked (~2,400 steps) · chill pace

Graze up the foodie street, catch the Art Nouveau squares, and finish on the basilica steps as the light turns gold.

⛰ Terrain: demanding. All uphill — stairs and steep lanes to the basilica.

👀 Safety: watch your pockets. The basilica steps' bracelet gangs are genuinely aggressive — the one Paris scam worth naming.

Start ~14h at the bottom of Rue des Martyrs, arrive at Sacré-Cœur for golden hour. Skip the funicular — the stairs are the point.
